Odisha to roll out Ayushman Bharat scheme by end of financial year
Ayushman Bharat Yojana
Bhubaneswar: In a significant development, the Odisha government is going to implement the Ayushman Bharat Pradhan Mantri Jan Arogya Yojana (AB-PMJAY) in the state soon by the end of the current financial year.
The Centre's health coverage scheme Ayushman Bharat Pradhan Mantri Jan Arogya Yojana will be implemented in Odisha by the end of the current financial year, a state minister said here on Monday.
According to the PTI report, Prime Minister Narendra Modi is scheduled to launch AB-PMJAY for all citizens aged 70 years and above across the country on Tuesday. Odisha will also adopt it, Health and Family Welfare Minister Mukesh Mahaling said.
The previous BJD government did not implement the central scheme in Odisha.
The BJD had launched its health assurance scheme, the Biju Swasthya Kalyan Yojana (BSKY) which was renamed Gopabandhu Jan Arogya Yojana (G-JAY) by the BJP government.
